Olfactour is a tourist cargo bike project to discover a city through smells. Made up of a low-tech ceramic device that allows you to smell different smells of the city, I want to help you discover the riches of a city through a sense that is too often forgotten: smell.

In the form of a neighborhood discovery game, the protocol is essentially based on the visitor’s sense of smell and then animate the other senses. Obviously, smell is a personal, subjective sense, but it can evoke emotions and remember alone or together. Engage in a conversation between participants, thus stimulating the imagination. Each step is recorded via a research protocol called “emotional networking technique.” During the session, it allows you to draw a sensitive and collective map in the margins of the geography of the territory visited.

The cargo bike can possibly contain two benches to offer the visit to children or people with reduced mobility.

About the designer

I am originally from Saigon, adopted from Strasbourg, based in Nancy for studies in culinary design at ENSAD, big eater of rice in all its forms and colors.
I do not cook but I use it to deal with multiple subjects related to food, using creative thinking and design as methods of reflection. I find inspiration in culinary cultures, the behaviors of eaters, the stories of foods and tools of the food trades, personal stories around the table to create design projects of various forms: edible installations, food-based materials, fruit and vegetable calendars, etc.
